Easy Quinoa Salad with Cranberries and Walnuts

We made this easy quinoa salad recipe this past weekend for a fun BBQ. It was surely a hit. Not to mention how colorful it turned out.

It was pertty as we say in Texas.

The amazing thing about this easy quinoa salad is that it doesn’t contain any oil. It’s completely healthy for you.

I actually kept a bowl for myself to eat the next day. I think it might have tasted even better on day 2. So feel free to make it ahead of time.
